The first few years after the birth the child is free to learn any language, it gets a huge mass of various practical skills quickly and easily exploring the world around them and develop the ability to think. But when the school time, instead of curious baby it becomes dull pupil who has no desire to learn and to learn something new.
Modern education system - a legacy of the industrial revolution of the XIX century. Initially, the school formed so that children are aware of the world that surrounds them. However, it was already 150 years, society has changed, the world has become much more difficult, as school let out and people are able to perform only primitive work and solve basic problems.
Ten years of its existence, the child spends at school, and she can not enrich his mind and soul, unable to come to the aid in the determination of a vocation. The school today are not taught to know themselves and to form relationships with other people. Today's children are in the majority are not able to reflect and expose the analysis of different situations, with the result that can not succeed and consequently become happy.
The only thing that is able to school today - the desire to kill and the ability to learn something new in its own way to train and to remember a bunch of absolutely necessary knowledge.
In addition, in the modern school is suppressed personality do not develop students' ability to think, to dream and to create. Children do not know how to find their own solution to the problem, think outside the box, self-development, to analyze. Hence the decline, and sometimes complete loss of curiosity.
